Getty ImagesIt's not Turtle and "E," but Azarenka's entourage is sizeable.

This article appears in the March 22 issue of ESPN The Magazine.

Tennis may be an individual's sport, but every top player travels with an entourage. Who gets a cut of the $4.5 million that No. 6 Victoria Azarenka pulls down annually?
